Parenthood
On the morning of December 14, 2018, I will have officially graduated from UNT. But none of this would have been possible if it were not for my parents. Mom, Dad, thank you for making the conscience decision of leaving your home in Vietnam to move to a foreign country with a foreign language and a foreign culture just so that I can have a better future and better opportunities, opportunities that you never had. I can see how tired and stressed out you must have been in helping out with my educational needs. The bags under your eyes, the small crevices of wrinkles forming on your face, and the greys in your hair are all testaments of your undying support. Thank you for allowing me to walk my own path as an artist, and keeping me from going astray with your steady guidance and wisdom. Thank you for all that you have done for me so far, it all leads up to this one moment.
